Answerbank Or (Others) ,best Site In The World!

Do you promote this(other sites you’re honest on) to your friends and family?

I understand that sometimes we need to be silly/ honest away from the afore mentioned but are we that ashamed of our behaviour and are more open to strangers we call friends here (other sites) and would not want them to see our “real us?”

Not judging, just intrigued after reading a related post.

My family are aware of the site and who I am on it, some of them are also members.

I turn to AB when I have a genuine question... a question I've probably already asked friends and family. But I appreciate the diversity of the the people on AB and always get answers I know I can trust! I talk about AB to friends and family, and if they joined they'd recognise my avatar!

I don't want my friends on here. I might ask for advice, talk about things that I don't want them to know. This site is nice and anonymous. By the way, I'm pretty much the same on here as in real life, except in real life I'm a lot more argumentative and outspoken. I can't be bothered on here, typing is too exhausting sometimes.

I have encouraged others to post on this site. Some, however, are definitely turned off by the 'clique' where it appears a few users are hogging the site to have an extended group conversation, quite unrelated to the original question asked. There are some brilliant questions and answers and debates on this site. Personally I think it's a shame it's intermingled with so much 'fluff' about internal jokes etc which make no sense whatsoever to a casual observer or new member.

[ummmm]

That I agree with, nazi.

[Mamyalynne]

You're right that there are some fabulous people here who offer great support and lots of wisdom and knowledge - they are very generous.

[Jahulaye]

Thanks for honest answers.

Hazi,I understand but I’d like to say that it’s no different to let’s say a pub meet with close friends and friends not within your “inner circle” where you’d have an “ in joke” before looking at your friends realising that they don’t understand and are feeling distance before you rope them back into the convo.

I think it’s just harder online as some users can’t see disappointed faces to correct that error.

I wouldnt promote it because of what Hans says above.
Realistically its only the voyeuristic part of me that likes to watch the car crash conversations that go on here.

[Quoi]

Hazi - i meant not hans

[Hazi-Hammenuhoth]

I'm sure you're right.

It's an informative site , but chatterbank is really an extension of Facebook.

[Sqad]

AB is now of diminishing value as an informative site.
For information, all you need do is put the question in your browser.....that is where 90% of the AB replies are plucked.

It is just a chat site, populated by a few or otherwise known as the "clique."

However.........it has it's supporters.

[jourdain2]

Yes, I've advised people who are puzzled about something to come on here and ask.

[jordyboy14]

Best answer to sqad well said,totally agree

[ummmm]

This is a cliqueless thread :-)

[Sqad]

spath...you are correct.
If you want your puzzles or crossword solving, then this is the site.

[Barmaid]

//Your presence is much appreciated//

Yes Sqad, your praises were being sung last night as a GP. I sniggered quite a bit (I'm sorry).

[Sqad]

^^^LOL.....I like to give satisfaction.
